    New rims/tires rubbing I NEED HELP

    The T bar adjustment will control how high the car rides in the front. The cam bolts controls camber. Tie rod ends control the toe. Or have i got that backwards? You can get it close at home but as others have said it would need a fine tune at a shop that has a clue. Small Block

    With all the bullitins that Ma Mopar put out you would certainly think she would have put one out regarding that washer. I'll google it and see what comes up. This certainly has been interesting to say the least. Small Block

    340 K Member ??

    Here's what i've learned from this thread. There seems to be only one or two pre 70 cars that do have the washer. There seems to be a couple of 70 and up cars that dont. It seems the bulk of cars built from 70 and up with a 340 do have the washers and this seems to be a factory identification of...

    Why some guy shouldn't own welders.

    Can we spell T-E-C-H-N-I-C-I-A-N? How about F-A-B-R-I-C-A-T-O-R? Scamp, that's great but you have to admit, the coke cans is a prime example of real talent. Had an aluminum welding project needing done on some very thin material in Prudhoe Bay once and all the old guys tried it with not real...

    Torsion Bar Install

    When installing the T bars i always place the numbers on the end to the rear of the car as this is the way i have found em to be when coming out of an original car and of course note the "R" and "L". Make sure your ring clips are seated in the grooves. I knew you could do it. Proud of ya.

    Frame connectors?

    Making em is just a small matter of fabrication. I made mine in my 74 440 duster and like the feel. I use a lenght of 2" X 4" square tube. This will make 2 sets after cut in half. Will be fabing a couple of more sets in the near future. If you get a template there will more than likely be some...

    8 3/4 + Hp = ?

    Food for thought. The factory put the 8.75 behind the Hemi in the LO23 coded Dart when using the automatic tranny. Behind the 4 speed in the same car they used the Dana 60. If using the 8.75 i would use nothing less than the 489 case and 1350 yokes.

    What did the factory use?

    I use Dupli color engine enamal Cast coat iron DE1651 and then shoot a shot of clear over it for a longer stay and it will develope rust over time BUT Cuda Chick has the real stuff for longevity. Yes she does clear and a good job of it too.

    Frame Connectors

    If you have any skill build your own. I use 2"x3" tube and cope them to fit the floot boards. Use a cardboard(beer carton)template to get the fit right. and then weld em in. Take out the carpet though. That nylon stinks.

    Bolt Pattern??

    I've just picked up a 73 Duster and i'm thinking the bolt pattern changed in 73 to the large pattern. 72 and earlier was small pattern. If i'm right i'll be able to get the torque thrust is the BBP. Am i right??? This is a /6 car with drum brakes.
